Usage & invoices
Everything you consume — emails sent, pay-as-you-go products used — is metered against one billing period and shows up on one invoice stream. This page shows where to watch your usage so the bill is never a surprise, and how to read the invoice when it arrives.
How usage adds up
Usage is shared across your workspaces: they all draw from the same plan allotment, and their sends count together against your included volume.
Each billing period starts the count fresh. Within a period:
- Sends inside your plan's included volume cost nothing extra — they're covered by the recurring plan charge.
- Sends beyond the included volume are counted as overage and charged at your plan's overage rate on the period's invoice.
- Pay-as-you-go products are charged per use as you go, and the period's total appears on the same invoice.
Watch your usage
Open Billing and payments and the Usage tab. For the current billing period you'll see, per product:
- How much you've used against how much your plan includes, with a progress bar so you can see utilization at a glance.
- Any overage so far — if you've gone past the included volume, the overage amount is called out.
- Pay-as-you-go spend — for per-use products, the number of uses and what they've cost so far this period.
If you're regularly running into overage, that's usually the signal to look at the next plan tier — see Plans & pricing. And to make sure the right people hear about billing events without checking the dashboard, set your billing notification addresses (ideally a team alias, not one person's inbox) — they receive invoice notifications, low-balance warnings, and plan-change confirmations.
Find your invoices
Open Billing and payments and the Invoices tab. Each billing period produces one invoice. From the list you can open any invoice to see its line items, and download it for your records or your finance team — your full billing history stays available there.
For the money-movement view — every charge and top-up as it happened — the Transaction History tab shows the running ledger of your wallet, which is useful for reconciling payments against invoices. See Payment methods & wallet.
Reading an invoice
An invoice has up to three kinds of line items, and they map directly to how plans work:
- The recurring plan charge. The fixed amount for your plan that period. It covers your included usage — this is the line you'll see every period regardless of how much you sent.
- Metered overage. Only appears if you sent more than your plan included. It shows the overage quantity and what it cost at your plan's overage rate.
- Pay-as-you-go items. One line per per-use product you used that period, showing the usage and the resulting charge.
If a line item looks unexpected, the Usage tab for that period is the place to cross-check — the invoice reflects exactly the metering shown there.
